Share

It’s been four years since Faith Hedgepeth was found dead in her Chapel Hill apartment, and still the case remains unsolved.

Now, police have released a new 3-D composite photo in hopes of finding her killer.

The composite was introduced on Friday night’s episode of 20/20 titled, “Love, Hope and Faith,” which attempted to provide new clues to bring Hedgepeth’s attacker to justice once and for all.

The episode begins at 2014’s spring commencement in Kenan Stadium, where Hedgepeth was supposed to be, dressed in a Carolina blue cap and gown and accepting her degree.

Throughout the 40-minute episode, 20/20’s Ryan Smith retraced Hedgepeth’s fateful night, painting a picture of what happened, where things become unclear and naming people of interest in the investigation.

The Snapshot produced in the Hedgepeth case reports that the assailant is most likely a Latino male, stating with 85.7 percent certainty that his skin color is dark to light olive, he has brown or hazel eyes, black hair and has zero to very few freckles.

If you have any information regarding the case or the newly released snapshot, you are advised to contact Chapel Hill Police Crimestoppers at (919) 614-6363.
